It's a simple way to protect yourself from dementia

This statement was made by one of the UK's leading brain health experts, Adam Greenstein, a professor of medicine at the University of Manchester, whose research focuses on the adverse effects of high blood pressure on the brain. High blood pressure is thought to contribute particularly to Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia, the two most common types of dementia, because it damages the small blood vessels in the brain, which in turn causes a series of effects that can damage brain tissue. In a study of about 9,000 people over the age of 50, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2019, people who took blood pressure medication for three years had a significantly lower incidence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a precursor to dementia. However, Professor Greenstein, who works at clinics in the North West of England, said many patients are reluctant to take their blood pressure medication.

Tenants have rights, including the right to privacy, so if the system seems intrusive, you can file a complaint or even consult an attorney about your options. At the very least, your landlord should tell you about the system and provide codes to arm and disarm it. If you’re a homebuyer, this is the time to decide whether to keep the system or remov...
